For the last several days, when I go to the PG Music forums on my iPhone, it does not remember me and I have to login each time. This is new behavior.
Once I enter the first letter of my username, the rest of it pops in, and my password is filled in. Even though I check the checkbox to "Remember Me", it does not.
Anything change on your end a few days ago?

I tried deleting the PG Music cookie; thanks but unfortunately it did not cure this problem. However, I did get to blow away quite a few other cookies, so it was worth the effort!
I should add to the problem statement that I close all apps frequently (double click home button, swipe up app). If I don't do this for Safari, it does remember me. However, to save the battery, I always close apps when done. Until this gets solved, I will just leave Safari running as it is not a heavy draining app, comparatively.

Matt, just some info to help you with your troubleshooting, I tested with my iPhone and did not have a problem with Safari remembering me. I most often visit the forum using an iPad with Safari and the same operating system as the iPhone and have noticed no recent problems.

When I'm at the office I get the same thing. At home I use Firefox but the office uses IE and of course has a robust firewall and lots of AV going on.
We have an off site IT company and everything has to go through them so I'm not about to ask them about this.
I've given up trying to post at work, probably a good thing anyway, lol.

In my case, sorry, no.
I like to close all apps to conserve battery power, then click the Off button to put the iPhone 5S to sleep.
I have made an icon on the home screen of the Forum page for PG Music.
In the past, I could click on this icon and be taken to the list of forums, and be already logged in. It also remembered my preference of certain forums I have minimized, such as the international section.
Now, if I leave Safari running in the background, I am still logged in. But if I close the app then go to the Forums page, I have to enter the first letter of my Username. Then the rest of the username and also the password field are filled in. I check the Remember Me box and login. But it won't remember me next time IF I have closed Safari.
Hope that is clear. Thanks Andrew.

Hi Matt,
Could you now (on your iPhone) go to MyStuff | Cookies, and click Expire Cookies. Then log back in and see if it is fixed.

I just did that, and no change. If I close Safari, I still have to log back in to the BIAB forum.
Last night, I completely shut down my iPhone, then restarted it. That didn't help either.
This is only a small annoyance, but it is behavior that changed. Thanks.

Are you sure that cookies are not being blocked on your iphone. I think the setting is in Settings --> Safari --> Privacy...
I wonder if there is a way to view individual cookies on an iphone to see their expiration. If so, I would like to see if the v7ubbt_myid cookie is there and what the expiration date of it is.

Thanks for staying with this, Andrew.
I see individual cookies (hundreds, ouch!) but there is no way to examine the contents. I do have one for pgmusic.com but there is no cookie resembling v7ubbt_myid.
In the same area, I do have a setting for cookies blocked from third parties and advertisers. IOS 7.1 only gives you three choices for cookies: block always, never, or third party/advertisers. I have never changed this setting to my knowledge, and certainly not recently.
If cookies were blocked, would the site remember my data when I enter as little as the first letter of my username?
In the same area, I do have Do Not Track on, but again, it hasn't changed.

It is only showing you the sites that have cookies, not the individual cookies for each site. There may be a way to view individual cookies but I haven't tried it: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/75178/how-can-you-see-the-value-of-a-cookie-on-an-iphoneIn the same area, I do have a setting for cookies blocked from third parties and advertisers Right, that setting should not cause a problem, and doesn't in my testing. If cookies were blocked, would the site remember my data when I enter as little as the first letter of my username? It is not the site that is remembering this, it is Safari remembering form data.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
